Laser regulation for variable color temperature lighting with low energy consumption by microlens arrays

Abstract

The construction of a smart city puts forward new requirements for lighting systems, such as variable color temperature adapting to environment and low energy consumption. We introduce a variable color temperature laser lighting system that produces uniform light with minimum energy. The color temperature is controlled by tri-color RGB diode lasers, and uniform lighting is achieved by microlens arrays. Tri-color diode lasers with wavelengths of 650, 556, and 450 nm are used as the lighting sources, and the white light laser output is achieved by combining the three beams. The color temperature is controlled by changing the power ratio of each lighting source. Finally, the homogenization of laser energy is regulated by the microlens arrays, and the energy uniformity reaches 91.1%. Moreover, we do an experiment to compare LED street lighting and laser street lighting, finding that the street lighting system with this design can increase the energy utilization rate by 113.33%, and the color temperature of the car headlamps with this design can be changed according to the environment. Therefore, this laser lighting system is an effective solution for modern smart lighting systems and energy saving, which have vast application.

“…After homogenizing the illumination surface of a Lambert beam, the light intensity of the central area can be reduced and that of the edge area can be increased to improve energy utilization. To achieve this, the following principles must be met [29]:…”

Ca8MgY(PO4)7:Eu2+,Mn2+: A Promising Phosphor in Near-Ultraviolet WLED Devices

“…Being used for LCD devices as well as solid-state illumination, white light-emitted diode (WLED) devices have gotten significant academic as well as commercial interest (Yigen et al, 2021;Yu et al, 2021;Liu et al, 2021). In the latest days, the commercialized white LED, which is made by mixing a blue chip of LED with YAG:Ce 3+ phosphor in yellow, has become a significant part of solid-state illumination (Kumar et al, 2019).…”
